Rizal Day bombings

The Rizal Day bombings occurred on 30 December 2000 when five black powder bombs were detonated around Metro Manila in the Philippines on a day commemorating national hero Jose Rizal, killing 22 people and injuring 120. Jemaah Islamiyah bombed the Plaza Ferguson in Malate (just outside the US embassy), a gasoline station across from the Dusit Hotel in Makati, the cargo handling area of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, a bus travelling down the Epifanio de los Santos Avenue in Quezon City, and the Blumentritt station of the Metro Manila LRT Line 1, with the last target having the most casualties. Mukhlis Hadji Yunos, Abdul Fatak Paute, and Mamasao Naga would be arrested for their roles in the attack.
